[QUOTE="SpydersWebbing, post: 4688653, member: 56378"] I knew what I didn't want: a continuation of 3.5. My last campaign I had two power games completely ruin DMing in 3.5 for me. Now, I know I should have restricted everything to core, but good Lord I didn't know better. Regardless, within 3 months 3.5 was irrevocably ruined for me. I WANTED game balance, because as a DM it was so much easier to design adventures for people who couldn't take on four creatures double their level and come out completely unscathed. I like epic play, but I couldn't put up with the broken crap that 3.5 put out for it. I wanted 4th to be fun and easy, so I could get on with designing. I wanted epic level play to be awesome. Then 4th game. I got my epic level play, and it was truly awesome. I could design a character without having to look through a dozen source books and have it come out GOOD and usable! I enjoyed the fluff changes in 4th, because it actually mirrors alot of the classical mythology better than any previous edition of the game (especially the fey. Good lord the Irish were creepy people), and gave me some ideas of looking back into that era of storytelling. [/QUOTE]
